Our 4th of July Parade Pictures . . .

Yeah, I know, it's a little late, but I was waiting for more pictures to show up. I still haven't gotten all the pictures off. I didn't take these ones, but I'm going to post them anyway. So, as I said before our group does the pre-parade in Provo. It is quite interesting. This year we decided to do something different and not allow the parade goers to slow us down by asking us to stop and take pictures. It worked rather well. Normally we are the ones that slow down the parade because we just get hounded for pictures, or we lose people because they get caught up taking pictures. I think it worked and everyone was a bit better for it. It wasn't as much stop and go.

I didn't take these pictures (thanks to those who took the pictures!), since I really didn't want to drag my camera along the parade route this year. I wanted to focus on keeping the troopers healthy . . . well, as healthy as you can while walking in a helmet in high heat.
Me and my amazing "sister". (no, we're not really related, but everyone thinks we are. we act so much alike and we're really really good friends!)



Jakob and Steve. Those two have too much fun on a parade route. They actually look really good too . . apart from some really weird and wild hair!
I think Jakob is talking strategy.
Our great and amazing Vader. All of us were happy that it stayed relatively cool for those in helmets.
This little droid was fun, but I can't drive it! I'm not all that great with remote controls, plus I was pulling the cooler and the spotter bag. It was a hit with some people though.
Our group. See? I was there, just pulling the cooler (which came in really handy near the end of the route).
